Butler crap again - what a signing.

Re: Squad for magic : Sat Jul 09, 2022 6:42 pm  

Genuinely I might be alone here but does anyone else just feel like being relegated will be like putting a dying dog out of it’s misery. Even if we some how stop up this year, our chances of signing anything defect are just looking bleaker and bleaker by the day. With the amount of players OOC, we’d struggle to even replace this shower with anything better. I just feel after witnessing that today, what’s the point in actually caring and genuinely ruing my afternoon for a bunch of so called men who’d allow that to happen. Who knows, we might even stay up, but I’m just fed up of watching crap week in week and and just bottom dwelling year after year.

Think we've already signed too many defects

Said many a time it will be a relief if/when we drop. Constantly been poop and looking over the shoulder isn't really enjoyable. Don't get me wrong there have been some fun times but invariably they are followed by crap within two seasons or so. If/when we drop we will be at our level. You can only punch above it for so long before it catches up with you. Looks like thus year is that time.

Utterly disgusting capitulation by a complete bunch of wasters, and that goes beyond just the team. Stick a fork in it, this team is done and who knows maybe the club will follow it after relegation. Taking the cheap option has finally caught up with us and for that those at the top take the blame as much as those who had a complete lack of composure on the field. Angry doesn’t come close to it. A top to bottom clear out is required and its likely to be a tough road back.

Yes that’s it. I’ve watched Wakefield for 25 years, that’s a drop in the ocean to a lot of the people on here, I’ve only ever seen 4/5 decent seasons during that time, which is really bleak. The rest of those seasons are just a vast blur of mediocrity and battling for survival. You’ve just got to ask the question “when is enough?”. I’ve said previously I’d watch Wakefield if they played on BNQ Carpark, as would alot on here, but it’s really got the point where when you’re constantly trying to compete with teams spending 1/3 more than you, it’s only a matter of time before we take the plunge.

Id genuinely enjoy that road more than this right now.

Re: Squad for magic : Sat Jul 09, 2022 7:20 pm  

It would be an impossible road back...it looks like our best players are all leaving anyway, but all SL contracts will be null and void, so the likes of Hall and Murphy etc etc could also leave and, along with the reduction in funding, we would be well and truly stuffed...bye bye Trinity, thanks for the memories !!

For me it’s all down to finances. Leigh have gone down and are flying straight back up because they have splashed the cash, that team would give us a right towelling (obviously they have about 10 Aussies in the starting 17). We can’t financially compete in SL, so it’s going to go one of 2 ways, we go down and see what happens or we stay up and probably be worse then we are now (if that’s even possible) as all our so called decent players are defecting

Re: Squad for magic : Sat Jul 09, 2022 7:44 pm  

The problem is the cash isn't there to splash.
We don't have a benefactor who can injects tens of thousands like other clubs.
our 'crowds' are not worthy of SL status.
The vast majority of the Wakefield public don't give a damn about Trinity.
We have survived in SL because we sign players nobody else wants, along with a fortunate gem, probably because we had good team spirit but that does not appear to be present this season.
I still maintain there IS quality in the playing staff we have, to not be in this mess BUT sadly, some of them have no heart. and seems to me can't be bothered anyway! Our coach makes selections many don't understand.
It's been an ongoing nightmare and finally, I think we've been found out.
